differentiates us from our competitors. Every year we welcome over 8000 students of 100 different nationalities to our

GEOS Languages PLUS - Programs 

Reach all your English or French language goals with our comprehensive 

curriculum, communicative methodology, and experienced teachers. 

We can accommodate both short-term programs and long-term studies, and students of all English/French levels. Using 

the Common European Framework of Languages, GEOS Languages PLUS accurately places the student in an appropriate 

class level via a placement test on the first day of school. All teachers on staff at our schools have university degrees and are 

qualified to teach English or French as a second language. In Canada and the USA, GEOS Languages PLUS tests students 

every Friday. In Europe, GEOS Languages PLUS gives students one major examination after every three-month semester. 

The students go over their results and academic progress during a one-on-one counseling session with one of their 

teachers. All GEOS Languages PLUS schools issue to students a certificate upon successful completion of their course. 

Sample Curriculum 

INTEGRATED SKILLS CLASS 

In the Integrated Skills class, students learn the four skills - reading, writing, speaking, and listening - through a 

“Communicative Language Teaching” methodology. Students learn new grammar patterns in the context of a conversation 

or a real-life situation. GEOS Languages PLUS places emphasis on developing accuracy. 

ACTIVE LISTENING CLASS 

In the Active Listening class, students cover a variety of topics while practicing English conversation management, and

Exam Preparation Courses 

There is a two-part approach to our Test Preparation Courses. First, we focus on improving the students’ English skills. 

Students work on vocabulary building, critical listening and reading, essay writing, and speaking. Next, we focus on 

building test-taking skills and strategies. In addition, students take mini-tests or mock-exams once a week, which is 

a great way to build test-taking stamina and for GEOS Languages PLUS to monitor the students’ progress. Students 

take 4-6 lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Students work with experienced teachers, and the most up-to-date, 

effective textbooks and materials available.

GEOS Languages PLUS - Pathways Program 

In our multinational society, people with an international university 

degree and international experience have more career advancement 

opportunities than their colleagues without such qualifications. 

GEOS Languages PLUS has partnerships with a number of post-secondary institutions throughout the world. 

These partnerships give students the opportunity to attend an international university or college upon completion 

of their studies at a GEOS Languages PLUS school in Canada, USA, the United Kingdom, and Malta. 

Why join our Pathways Program? 

• Gain full or conditional admission to an international university or college 

• Earn an international university or college degree 

• Accumulate international experience and references for future employers 

• Improve both your written and spoken English language skills 

• Build new relationships and networks in-and-out of school 

• Get a holistic view of Western academics and campus life in person 

This is the first time I have ever said “Wow! I’m 

proud of myself.” My graduation is just ahead, and I 

am ready to transfer to a university. I now think back 

to the beginning of my English study at GEOS. I started 

from beginner class and finished in the advanced 

class at the end. Through my English studies at GEOS, 

I learned that the most important thing to do your 

English is repetition. While I shared my daily event 

in class every day, I suddenly noticed, “I know a lot of 

vocabulary.” 

Also my favorite class activity was the presentations. 

Of course, everyone gets nervous the first time, but I 

realized it is actually fun. A lot of experience in GEOS 

gave me confidence.Therefore, I wasn’t worried 

about anything when I started studying at El Camino 

College. 

Although I have learned so many things there as well, 

GEOS is the most special for me. 

There are five major advantages for students taking 

the Pathways Program at our schools: 

1 The majority of our post-secondary institutions in Canada and the USA have waived the application fee 

and/or the need for an official TOEFL test score in lieu of the students’ successful completion of Level 6 in an 

English Program in Canada and the USA. 

2 For post-secondary institutions that have requested an official IELTS, Cambridge, or TOEFL score, 

GEOS Languages PLUS thoroughly prepares students for these language exams so that they reach the 

qualifications required for their degree. 

3 Our Pathways partner schools can offer conditional letters of acceptance, allowing for easier acquisition 

of student visas. 

4 Students can study for a Bachelors degree, Masters degree, or a college diploma in a large variety of 

programs including Tourism, Engineering, Marketing, Trade, Hospitality, Administration, and Business.

GEOS Languages PLUS - Study-Work / Internship Program - Canada 

I chose this program 

because I want to get more 

working experiences and I 

want to have a chance to 

practice my English. Also, I 

can get money from work 

and learned how to work and 

communicate with people 

from other countries…not 

just with Canadian people 

but people from around the 

world. This program gives me good opportunities. It is 

really useful for me. I work in a hotel at the coffee shop. 

My job is not difficult. I just sell my product and but I meet 

a lot of people. I have to take care all of my customers, be 

friendly and have good hospitality. If you ask me about 

this question, I will say I used everything that I learned 

from GEOS; Grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation. I use all 

of them when I have to communicate with my customers. 

I would like to recommend this program because it is 

really useful if you want to see how good your English 

is after you have finished studying. As well, you will get 

some new experiences that you have never had before. 

You won’t get only money but you will get new friends 

and learn about people and other cultures from your coworkers. 

That’s the most important point why I chose this

Victoria is definitely 

perfect city for studying 

English. You don’t have to 

worry about entertainment 

that disturb you from studying 

English. I’ve learned many 

things not only English but 

also culture of Canada. 

Whenever I’m exhausted or 

not motivated, I’m encouraged 

from counseling with GEOS 

staff. [GEOS Victoria] helped me out to find job and make 

my resume. The business course that I took for 2mth was 

really helpful for my work experience. They can help students 

even about personal problem like home-stay, visa issue.. etc 

not only about English. I could learn many things [from my 

work experience]… how to treat Canadian customer, what 

Canadian culture is like… of course English too!! When I 

started to work, I wasn’t able to understand what costumer 

was ordering. That was most difficult part of my work. What 

I tried to solve this problem was keep paying attention on 

customer’s mouths and tried to figure out what they were 

saying. You would face lots of things make you feel frustrated 

when you experience work in Canada. But after you overcome 

it, you would be stronger, and much more mature!!

GEOS Languages PLUS - Accommodations & Activities 

GEOS Languages PLUS understands how vital a role accommodations play in the 

students’ study abroad experience. As such, our schools offer a variety of accommodation 

options so that students will have the most memorable and enjoyable 

stays possible. 

HOMESTAY: Students can experience Western culture and practice their language skills by sharing a home with a 

host family. Students generally stay in single rooms but double rooms may be available upon request. Students also have 

the option of choosing full-board or half-board stays. A GEOS Languages PLUS staff member has personally visited 

the houses of all our host families; and GEOS Languages PLUS’ host families live in safe, comfortable neighbourhoods 

near the schools. In addition, students in GEOS Languages PLUS Montreal can choose between living with an English 

or French-speaking host family. 

RESIDENCES: All schools work with residences year-round. Some of our GEOS Languages PLUS schools have 

beautiful on-site school residences where students can choose between Standard or Comfort Apartments, and/or single 

or double rooms. For schools without on-site residences, GEOS Languages PLUS works with residences that are conveniently 

located close to the schools on foot or by public transportation. Students can request single, double, or group 

occupancy; and residences may provide breakfast or meal plans for an extra fee. 

GUEST HOUSE – HOTEL: GEOS Languages PLUS Devon(Exmouth) offers a guesthouse that is 10 minutes away 

from the school. This is the perfect option for students who prefer to have a little bit of distance between their school 

life and personal life. Ensuite single or double rooms are available (double rooms can only be booked for two students 

traveling together), and bed linen and towels are provided. GEOS Languages PLUS Devon’s guesthouse also provides 

daily cleaning service and breakfast. 

SHARED APARTMENTS: Sharing the same apartment with other international students is a great way for 

students to learn about different cultures, practice their newly-learned language skills, and improve their communication. 

GEOS Languages PLUS schools in Europe offer single or double rooms in privately-owned fully-equipped, fullyfurnished 

apartments. Students can choose between Standard and Comfort Apartments, depending on their budget 

and needs. 

Standard Apartments – These apartments are ideal for the budget-orientated traveler. The apartments come with 

fully-equipped kitchen and bathrooms, and basic furniture. They are located either on campus or just a few minutes from 

the school. At some locations, students can book breakfast and meal plans for nominal fees. 

Comfort Apartments – These apartments are generally larger with better furnishing and equipment. There is also 

more frequent cleaning service (usually twice a week). These apartments are located on campus or very close to the 

school. At some locations, students can book breakfast and meal plans for nominal fees. 

PRIVATE APARTMENTS / STUDIOS: Private studios or apartments are perfect for students or families that 

seek, or need, more privacy. GEOS Languages PLUS Malta provides on-site apartments while other GEOS Languages 

PLUS schools can assist with the booking of an apartment close to the school. All apartments come fully furnished with 

ensuite bathrooms and cooking facilities. Breakfast or other meals plans and cleaning services are available at some 

locations for an additional cost. 

ACTIVITIES: 

GEOS Languages PLUS realizes that learning a language is more than just attending great classes. To effectively learn 

a language, students must immerse themselves in both the cultural and social aspects of life in Canada, USA, the United 

Kingdom, and Malta. To help students achieve a complete ̏language, culture, adventure˝ experience, GEOS Languages 

PLUS offers after-school social activities for students. Whether students are taking part in walking or cycling tours of the 

city, sampling famous local foods, or playing sports – they will always be practicing their language skills! 

The types of extra-curricular activities available depend largely on the season and the location. GEOS Languages PLUS 

releases a monthly activity calendar at the beginning of every month and students can expect at least 2 activities a week. 

The majority of the activities are free but some activities may be enjoyed for a nominal price.

EVERYONE 

COMES TO NEW 

YORK CITY 

New York is known as ‘The Big Apple’ and is a major source of entertainment, finance, 

and business around the world. 

New York has long been immortalized in songs and movies for good reason. There’s literally something to do at 

all hours of the day with places such as music lounges, fitness clubs, and diners opening 24 hours, 7 days a week. 

From high-end designer goods on Fifth Ave to eclectic jewelry in Greenwich Village, from delicious Chinese food in 

Chinatown to fancy steakhouses on the Upper East Side, and from indie acts in nightclubs to grand-scale concerts 

by famous musicians, there’s a little something for every taste and every person. The City itself is a multi-cultural, 

multi-ethnic melting pot of people and cultures from around the globe. Thus, it is very easy for students to make 

friends, practice English, and learn about American culture while enjoying famous New York cuisine such as New 

York pizza, cheesecake, and bagels. The Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Broadway, Central Park, New York Yankees, 

MOMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, SoHo, East Village, Fifth Ave – these are just a few of the many things and

WHY GEOS? 

If you can’t listen and speak English. Don’t worry. You are going to improve in 3 months. 

Yes. Just 3 months. I saw a lot of people. They couldn’t speak English but after three months 

they spoke English well. GEOS is good choise for me. Why? Because teachers are very friendly and 

they have a lot of methods for teach English. For example: Before lesson they explain to some 

vocabulary about unit. When you learn these vocabulary, they are starting lesson. This method 

is very important for memorize vocabulary. They aren’t teaching only in school. Sometimes they 

are going to outside; for example Empire State, Statue of Liberty. GEOS has a lot of activities every 

day. For example Monday: students are going to bowling with their teachers and they are enjoying and learning English. 

Class; you have a lot of friend, classmate in GEOS and they are from different countries. They just speak English. Class is not 

boring because class has fun every day. If you want to learn English, class and lesson shouldn’t be boring. Because you pay 

your money. You shouldn’t waste your money. I think I didn’t waste my money and my times. Thanks GEOS! .

STEEPED New York IN 

HISTORY AND 

RICH IN CULTURE 

Boston is the capital and the most populous city in the Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts. It is known for its rich history and strong academics. 

Founded in 1630, Boston is one of the oldest and most culturally significant cities in the United States. The city architecture 

still reflects its historical roots – for example, near the GEOS campus downtown stands a modern skyscraper 

next to a 300 year-old church. Millions of tourists come to Boston each year to learn about the American Revolution, 

and visit cultural and historical landmarks such as Faneuil Hall, the Heritage Trail, and Quincy Market. The city was 

the site of several ̏firsts˝, including the first public school and the first subway system in America. Boston’s prime 

location on the North Atlantic and proximity to the coast means that residents can enjoy a variety of fresh seafood 

every day. Local lobster and traditional clam chowder are not to be missed in particular. With over 100 colleges and 

universities in the city alone, Boston is known as the Àthens of America´. The world’s top university, Harvard, is in 

Boston, which cements this city’s reputation as being an intellectual center. 

It is no wonder why Boston is often the first choice for students wishing to pursue language or post-secondary 

education. In fact, close to half of Boston’s population is made up of students, making the city very student-friendly. 

BOSTON 

GEOS Boston is located in a historic building in the heart of Boston. It is near the Downtown Crossing, which is a 

popular shopping district with large department stores, restaurants, souvenir shops, and many street vendors. 

The school is minutes away from T-subway stations. It is also an easy walking distance from historical sites such as the 

Old South Meeting House, King’s Chapel, Faneuil Hall, and two parks. Surrounded by restaurants and stores in the same 

area, students at GEOS Boston have many places that they can go to for a quick meal or for after-school gatherings.

VIBRANT AND 

LIVELY STUDENT 

COMMUNITY 


First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mohammad and I have 

been studying at GEOS for 10 months. Which is good enough to improve my skills on 

the first day at GEOS, I could speak at all since that I realized that I need to practice 

more and to study harder and that’s why I am improving every day, GEOS’s teachers 

are very perfect and each day we see a news style of teaching which really help us to 

understand more. Coffee talk for me is extremely important to have a chance to talk 

to students that their English is better than u on the other hand, we must forget to 

help students who is not as good as us,. Finally I would say: thank you “to all GEOS staff and to express my 

love to GEOS and hopefully to work at GEOS someday! 

Name of Student: Mohammad Name of Country: Saudi Arabia 

At first, I thought it might not be a good idea to spend three months 

during winter in the freezing city like Boston, but it turned out to be the most 

enjoyable winter in my life. Warm welcome from the teachers and multicultural 

students, made me feel really comfortable and facilitated me to learn 

English quickly. GEOS has changed frustration into confidence. Thanks for the 

greatest staff ever. And for all of my friends here, I will not forget you.

The school was great! I learned more in a day then some weeks in school. The staff at school was 

great. I loved my teacher. The location was fabulous. This experience was one of the best things that 

ever happened to me! I used to not like that much responsibility, but this helped me bring out the best 

and taught me how to use independence. I made incredible friends and learned a lot of English. 

I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE! At first I was homesick, but I then started to look around me and see the 

beautiful city and regretted that I ever wanted to leave.

GEOS Languages PLUS - SAN FRANCISCO 

MIX OF HISTORIC 

BEAUTY AND 

MODERN CHARM 

The popular song, ‘I Left my Heart in San Francisco’, says it best. With the diversity of 

culture, people, and things to do, one can’t help but fall in love with the city. 

San Francisco is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in the United States. The city is a gorgeous blend 

of historic Victorian architecture and modern buildings, and the cable cars only add to the city’s overall charm. 

Renowned for its romantic fog, the weather in San Francisco is very comfortable. There is a laidback and breezy 

atmosphere about the city that makes living in San Francisco so easy. The city is a hotspot for musicians and artists, 

and there are a number of festivals throughout the year that celebrate the arts including the Midsummer Mozart 

Festival, the San Francisco International Arts Festival, and the Film Festival. 

San Francisco is also home to the largest and oldest Chinatown in North America. The neighbourhood is not only 

culturally-significant and rich in history but it is very popular too – Chinatown draws more visitors to the area per 

year than the Golden Gate Bridge! Students will love shopping in one of the many neighborhoods, biking across the 

Golden Gate Bridge, and watching the sea lions at Fisherman’s Wharf. 

Come to San Francisco and prepare to lose your heart to the city. 

SAN FRANCISCO 

GEOS Languages PLUS San Francisco can be found in the exciting downtown core of breezy San Francisco city, just

SAN FRANCISCO 

WILL CAPTURE 

YOUR HEART 


Hello, my name is Nicolas and I am from France. I like San Francisco because the people are 

very friendly and very relaxed. And that is very good for my head and my heart. There were a lot 

of artists here and it is good for my job because I am a tattoo artist. The creativity of the different 

artists is really good for my imagination. I improved my English at GEOS because of the teachers. 

They were very serious about teaching. The staff was very professional and serious about their 

job. I liked that. I chose to study one-to-one but Ethan told me to try group class because of the 

communication. I am glad I did this because I made a good connection with other students and 

my speaking improved. In just one month I made many things in San Francisco. I visited different scenery, made a tattoo, 

ate in a typical American restaurant and made new friends. I think I have so many memories in my head, it is possible for 

me to write a book! In San Francisco it’s not possible to be bored. 

Name of Student: Nicolas Name of Country: France 

Hello, my name is Bilal and I am from Belgium. About GEOS, the teachers are very competent. 

They have a real willing to do better. I will remember jokes during the class, with the teachers and 

the students. I liked San Francisco because it is clean. I will miss the views, the beach, the Golden 

Gate Bridge. There are a lot of things to do here. If I had to describe GEOS in one word, it would be 

“productivity.” For me productivity is the staff asking the students if everything is OK, asking if you 

want something else. There was a real willingness to help the students. I will miss the most my 

GEOS friends and Asian food. My advice to other students is to come here for a long time. 4 weeks 

was too short.

environment, because I have native speakers teachers, the family in the homestay and all the 

people that I know outside Geos, and this also make you improving your English because you 

get use to thinking in English all the time. On the other hand the TOEFL course that I am taking is 

great, because it has more emphasis in the skills than in specific grammar topics. For me this is 

a big advantage, because I want to take the TOEFL and in this test they ask for skills but not for 

specific grammar. You probably can have a good grammar but if you do not have the proper skills, you will not be able to 

answer it, and that is why i think this course is great.

GEOS English School is like a big family. All the teachers are very friendly and concerned about 

the well being of the students and offer support to solve problems. In class they agitate the students 

to participate in the language lessons to strengthen their confidents in their ability to speak and 

interact with other students. Also they like to interact with the students between the lessons and are 

always up to shenanigans. The students are from all over the world so they are usually not able to 

communicate in their native language and have to speak English to communicate with each other. All 

the students are really friendly and you will make in a short time friends for a lifetime. After the students depart from GEOS they 

stay in contact over social networks until long after their departure. As a student you usually participate in social events with 

other students so you will not just improve your English in class but although in your free time.

Hi! My name is Chiara and I’ve been here for months. I think that GEOS is the perfect 

compromise for studying and having fun here in California. It’s incredible how fast you can 

learn. I learned to be more extroverted and easygoing. I have been in contact with people 

from other countries, ages, and cultures. My English is getting better and better every day, 

so now I don’t have to worry about my English when I speak. I even can use a lot of slang 

too! This is why I’m really thankful for everything that teachers and friends have done for 

me at this school.

My name is Dat and I am from Vietnam. I’ve been studying here

it didn’t take me too long to find out that GEOS was a very nice school. 

Teachers are friendly and they help you when you have a problem 

about anything. I met a lot of friends here, too. They come from many

UNIQUELY 

BEAUTIFUL AND 

CULTURALLY-RICH 


Since the English classes started, I felt so good in this school. The methodology is great. 

Moreover, the teachers are fantastic because they will always create a dynamic ambience in which 

you could feel comfortable and interested in the topics chosen. However, it is not all studying. 

Amusement is also an important element of traveling and Montréal is an amazing city for it. 

Furthermore, as one of most the multicultural cities of Canada, you can find people from all around 

the world and make a lot of friends. This has been a terrific experience, coming here and leaving 

summer in Peru is worthwhile. I have enjoyed every moment I have spent here. I want to thank all 

the staff, the teachers and the people I have met, all of you have been so kind to me. 

Name of Student: Mario Fernandi Name of Country: Peru 

When I decided to study at GEOS Montréal, all I wanted to do was improve my language skills 

and I didn’t expect anything else. Now I am glad that I chose this school because I could learn a lot 

more than that. Not only could I meet many people from different countries and become friends here, 

I also met great staff and teachers. When I first started to study French at GEOS, I had almost zero 

knowledge of French. Now, thanks to my great teacher, I’m gradually getting able to say small things 

in French. Of course, my English has been really improving as well. At the beginning, I didn’t have 

confidence in my English and often stayed silent in a class. But my teacher tries to give each student 

a chance to speak and doesn’t forget to give good points and weak points that I should work on in a 

speech. That helped me to improve my speaking skills a lot. Now I know I speak much more, compared to the beginning, and 

see the difference in myself. I really enjoy each class here and I would like to say thank you to my wonderful teachers who 

make each class interesting and the staff who helps me and says hello every morning with a smile :)

WONDERFUL 

PLACE TO LIVE 

AND STUDY 


My name is Alvaro, I’m 18 years old and I’m from Spain. I’ve been in Ottawa twice, so as to 

improve my English, and both times I chose GEOS as the place to brush it up at, since it’s much more 

than a language school. Apart from learning, you get the chance to meet people from different 

cultures all over the world, and you’re given the opportunity to do lots of wonderful activities 

together. Besides, the teachers are great and they seem to be like friends, always there to help you 

when you need them. Definitely, out of all the schools and academies I’ve studied at, GEOS is the 

best one, with really entertaining classes that let you make the most out of every lesson. 

Name of Student: Alvaro Vadillo Name of Country: Spain 

When I was choosing a school for my English exchange in Canada from Brazil, I sent emails to 

many schools, including GEOS. I remember GEOS was the first to answer me - quite quickly -, so I 

thought it would be the perfect school for me, because if I needed any help in Canada, I’d receive it 

from Geos. I was totally right. In GEOS Ottawa, I found the perfect place to improve my English skills. 

I’ve been assisted any time I needed. I’ve also made friends for the rest of my life. The teachers in 

GEOS Ottawa are the best in the world, I’m sure of that, and the school staff is always worried about 

the welfare of their foreigner students. That’s why I could feel home during my stay in Ottawa. The school also provides us the 

best host family according to our wishes and personality, and I’ll be always thankful to GEOS to have chosen my host parents. 

Ottawa will always be my home thank to GEOS.

THE CANADA OF 

YOUR DREAMS 


I am studying English, because I need the language for my future job in International Trade, in 

Mexico. My first impression was that GEOS was a “comfortable” school; I made so many friends so quickly. 

I decided to come to GEOS because think GEOS is the best option. First, GEOS has a good reputation. My 

consulate said that GEOS was a very school. It was a choice between GEOS and another school, and I chose 

GEOS. The pronunciation is very difficult for me, but I try and practice in my homestay with movies, so 

that I can improve. My English has improved a lot. When I came here, my English was 10%; I only knew a 

few words. Now I know more words, and more grammar. Study tip for GEOS student is try and try again, 

because all students make many mistakes. Don’t worry, just try, try, and try. 

Name of Student: Alfredo 

Name of Country: Mexico 

I used to study English at GEOS Japan then I had known GEOS Calgary by the leaflet about the 

study abroad. In GEOS Calgary, teachers and classmates are very friendly so I can study English in relaxed 

atmosphere. I take care to watch TV and try to speak English more to have a chance to improve my English. 

The purpose of my studying English is that because I would like to communicate with another country 

people in English and I’d like to use English for something volunteer work. My Homestay host mother is 

very kind so I am having enjoyable homestay life. GEOS is very close to train station so it’s convenient to 

commute to school. I think, the size of the school is suitable. Our classmates are all friendly. I think, I am 

not good at level 4 in listening and speaking but I will try to keep up with the class. Calgary is very safe and 

people are friendly. GEOS is an openhearted school. You can’t improve your English without speaking English so If you come to GEOS, 

you should try to speak English actively without fear of committing mistake.

Vancouver Island can also be reached by an incredibly scenic ferry ride from the mainland, where students 

may even get the chance to see a killer whale or two along the way. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Victoria 

enjoys very mild weather all year-round. The gorgeous flowers of the Butchart Gardens are Victoria’s crowning 

glory. In fact, Victoria even derives a nickname, `The City of Gardens’, from them. Students will be equally 

impressed by the majesty of the Fairmont Empress Hotel and the Inner Harbour. The lively Inner Harbour, in particular, 

features music performances from aspiring artists and is a favourite of residents and students alike. The local 

residents of Victoria are very friendly – often going out of their way to help international students. The warm and 

welcoming atmosphere of the city will melt away stress and make anyone feel at home instantly. 

VICTORIA 

The school is located in a heritage building in the heart of downtown Victoria, on the main street - Douglas Street. 

GEOS Languages PLUS Victoria is only a quick stroll away from Victoria’s Old Town where countless upscale restaurants 

and fun pubs can be found. GEOS Languages PLUS Victoria’s neighbours include The Bay Centre, the 

Royal British Columbia Museum, and the famous Fairmont Empress Hotel. Five minutes away from the school is the 

Inner Harbour. One of Victoria’s main attractions, the Inner Harbour is filled with street performers and has a great

THE CITY 

OF GARDENS 


It was the first time for me to go abroad, so I was very nervous about everything. However 

I found out I was too anxious, because when I arrived at GEOS, all the teachers, staff, and 

students were so friendly, kind and made me feel comfortable feelings. I love the teachers, 

especially in the morning the teacher gave us 10 minutes writing assignment and then returned 

the correct writing on the following day. In the afternoon class, we often studied together with 

the other same class of the level; one of the debate activities was quite fun and exciting. It 

was great practice to think and speak quickly in a limited time. Finally, thank you so much for 

everything to teachers and staff. They always took care of my problems and answered me very 

quickly. I really appreciate it! I wish I could stay longer. 

Name of Student: Ye Seul Name of Country: Korea 

I came to Victoria to study English. What surprised me about Victoria at first was 

everyone is very welcoming to different nationalities and disabled people. Since I have 

studied at GEOS, my speaking skills have been improving a lot. I had been afraid of speaking 

in English before I came here, because I had never had any chance to talk to native speakers. 

Now thanks to my teachers and friends, I am confident when speaking it. They always make 

a comfortable atmosphere to talk in. Though it is simple words such as “actually” or “you 

know”, I have never been taught them in school, so I had no idea how to use them. However, 

those words are very functional and useful. I am really enjoying studying English at GEOS. 

Thank you GEOS!

If one thing is certain in life, it is that you will never be bored in London! Just take a look at ̏Time Out”, the `daddy’ of 

all city-listings magazines to see the thousands of events and activities held in the city every week. Fancy a night-out 

at the theatre? No problem – London is the world’s theater capital. Or what about a night out clubbing? Take your 

pick – London has one of the largest club scenes in the world. There are so many events going on at the same time

museums? Or maybe dinner in an exotic restaurant? Indian, Chinese, West African, Indonesian, Mexican – the choice 

is endless. Over the centuries, the city has embraced so many cultures from around the world that a visitor simply 

cannot take all of them in. But then again, does it come as a surprise that London is so vibrant and colorful when

GEOS Languages PLUS - BRIGHTON 

BRIGHTON IS A 

CITY THAT HAS 

GROWN OVER THE 

CENTU RIES 

At the end of the 18th century, the English seaside resort of Brighton was fortunate 

enough to be chosen by the British Royal Family as its official summer residence. 

Along with the Royal Family came the cream of English society, including the aristocracy and the so-called “moneyed” 

classes. As a result, Brighton immediately became associated with glamour and sophistication, and even 

today, Brighton is very much regarded to be a fashionable place. Whether it is for watching one of the many sporting 

events held in the city, eating at one of its many re nowned restaurants, clubbing in what is one of Europe’s live liest 

club scenes, or simply strolling along the pier or prome nade, Brighton in the 21st Century is as popular as ever. 

The Royal Pavilion is a sight well worth seeing. It was built especially for the Prince Regent at the turn of the 18th 

century. The Palace Pier isn’t just for taking a stroll, it has popcorn stands, fish-and-chips stalls, fortune tellers, an 

excellent night club, amuse ment arcades and pubs. Brighton was originally a fishing village before it was colonized 

by the royals and the aristo cracy. The fishermen lived in winding lanes, which have become known as `The Lanes’ 

today. Brighton offers cozy pubs, anti que shops, book shops and cafés at every corner. Brighton is a city that has 

grown over the centu ries, it is still very young and a popular university city. 

Our school in Brighton, which is accredited by the British Council, is located only a short walk away from our residence, 

the town center and the beach. It is housed in an attractive Edwardian building with a good sized patio garden, 

as well as, a spacious common room offering free internet access. Students need to be aged 16+ to participate 

in adult programs.1 lesson = 45 minutes 

The residence, a beautiful Victorian building, is situated across the road from the sea front, opposite the once famous 

West Pier. All rooms have ensuite facilities, and many also have views of the sea. The residence also has a licensed 

bar, club, 24-hour reception and a restaurant.

Estuary, which is abundant with bird life, brightly-coloured sailboats, and splendid panoramic views. The promenade 

stretches along Exmouth’s golden sandy beach for over 2 miles. This leads to the start of the East Devon 

coastline, a beautiful area that has been designated a World Heritage Site alongside the Great Barrier Reef and the 

Grand Canyon. There are beautiful floral displays throughout Exmouth’s city center, making it an ideal place to relax 

and shop. Exmouth also offers a variety of seaside attractions, renowned watersports facilities and friendly shopping 

areas. Smaller side streets also are lovely to browse. When it comes to eating out, students are spoilt for choice as

GEOS Languages PLUS - Malta 

THE MOST 

BEAUTIFUL 

SCHOOL IN MALTA 

Thinking of learning English properly while enjoying a Medi ter ra nean climate? Look no 

further than the very South of Europe! 

The Island of Malta is situated between Sicily and the coast of North Africa. The sun shines the whole year round on 

its North African-like landscape. Malta has a diverse culture and has played a greater role in history and international 

politics than most other islands on earth. The Phoenicians, the Romans, the French and the British have all come and 

gone. Now it’s your turn! However, what makes Malta so interesting for a language course is the legacy left behind by 

the British. Just as in all Britain`s other former colonies, the judicial system and British administration have remai ned 

in place. English is the first official and cultural language. The educational system is very British. Indeed the Maltese 

language schools are greatly respected throughout Europe. The Maltese mentality is Mediterranean. They drive on 

the left (like in Britain) and they insist on having a siesta (like in Italy and Spain). The Maltese are tolerant, openminded, 

interested in other cultures, and fun-loving. The school is located in a quiet part of St. Julian’s Bay, yet close 

to Paceville, the center of Maltese nightlife. 

The school is simply breathtaking. It is of unique architectural interest and was built at the beginning of the century. 

This striking, aesthetically pleasing stone building with its classical Greek-like elements and Roman arcades will not 

fail to impress you. Our campus, comprising of class rooms, apartments, restaurants, gardens, swimming pool, and 

beach volleyball court, is the perfect place to study and relax. The sun shines practically all year-round, making it an 

outdoor experience when it comes to spacing relaxa tion and leisure.

BOOKING CONDITIONS & REGISTRATION 

1. Enrolment: Fill in the application form and post or fax it to the address mentioned at the back of the brochure. 

A deposit of 20 % of the total amount is due at the time of regis tration. With your application you commit yourself 

to the services requested and booking conditions. After having received your application and deposit we will 

send the confirmation of enrolment and the invoice. The welcome pack with extra information and the address of 

your accommodation will be sent after you have settled the remaining balance. The invoice must be paid in full 

four weeks before arrival. 

2. Rebooking: Changing a booking (e.g. arrival date, accommodation, etc.) up to 31 days before departure we 

will incur a fee of $ 75. We will do our utmost, but cannot guarantee the fulfilment of the request made since 

extra costs may incur. In that case, the rebooking charge may exceed $ 75. 

refunded. The minimum number of participants for exam preparation courses is 4 students. 

4. Visa: In order to provide the letter of acceptance required by the embassy for issuing a visa, 40 % of the total 

amount should be paid together with an additional charge of $ 120/ 80 € / 60 GBP or equivalent (+ shipping fee). 

In the case of visa refusal, a full refund minus the additional, nonrefundable charge of $ 120/ 80 € / 60 GBP can 

only be made if the student provides the letter of refusal issued by the embassy at least 14 days before departure. 

After this date we will consider the participation of the student as confirmed and normal cancellation/rebooking 

fees will apply. 

In case the visa has not yet been issued 15 days before departure, we strongly recommend postponing the course. 

In this case, the first rebooking fee will not be charged (evidence of visa refusal is required). 

3. Cancellation: You may cancel your enrolment at any time prior to the commencement of your course. 

In the USA we will refund all funds, save for any non-refundable fees. 

In all other locations, the following cancellation fees will apply. 

- Cancellation up to 30 days before course commencement:10 % of total fees, max. $ 225, whichever is less 

- Cancellation between 15 to 29 days before course commencement :25 % of total fees or $ 450, whichever is less 

- Cancellation between 1 to 14 days before course commencement: 50 % of total fees or $ 900, whichever is less 

Thereafter, 90 % of the total fee is required or $ 1500 whichever is less. If you should cancel/withdraw after the 

commencement of your course, please consult the school for its refund policies. If you prefer, you have the option 

of purchasing cancellation insurance. This is 2% of the total amount (with a minimum purchase of $ 75). 

The insurance fee must be settled at the time of registration and will only apply if you cancel prior to departure 

due to health reasons (a written confirmation from the relevant doctor is required as proof). 

In the unlikely event the school won’t be able to create a group course due it not having enough students at the 

same time/level, smaller group or Private Tutorials for a reduced amount of lessons will be provided instead (20 

lessons = 12 lessons / 30 lessons = 18 lessons). 

Under the rare circumstances of our being forced to cancel, all fees paid for GEOS Languages PLUS services will be 

5. Acceptable forms of payment: 

- By bank transfer: The relevant account number will be on the invoice. 

Please send us a copy of the transfer order. All bank charges will be incurred by you. 

- By credit card: Upon your notification, the appropriate form will be sent. It will need to be completed with the 

name of the credit card company, card number, expiry date and signature. An additional 2 % credit card fee will 

be charged. 

6. Insurance: Neither agent, operator, nor the school will be held responsible in any way for any accident, 

illness, loss of personal effects or change in personal circumstances arising at any time prior to, or during, the 

course. We therefore strongly recommend our personal travel insurance (incl. Health, Third-party, Accident and 

Baggage: $ 75 per person per month). 

7. Liability: Parents of minors agree that neither GEOS Languages PLUS nor the homestay shall be liable for damage 

or problems caused either negligently or intentionally by their children while participating in trips. Parents 

and their children who are still minors recognize and accept the laws and the normal code of conduct of the 

country which they are visiting.
